Amazing experience! Can't say enough positive things about how memorable our experience was. They go above and beyond from the moment you arrive to the moment you leave. The bar atmosphere is fun, the dining room is quaint and roomy. We sat at a booth and it was the perfect set up for a romantic date night. We ordered stone crabs, oysters, scallops, and the filet. Overall, I highly recommend this location and can't wait to come back.

Absolutely amazing. The manager welcomed us as if he knew us personally and then the fun started. Food was outstanding from Stone Crabs, lobster bisque, bread, tuna, south African lobster tail, sea bass, baked alaska and carrot cake. So much more as well. Drew was our server and what an asset to the company and a great person and server. Highest recommendation and will be back. Happy holidays

Trulucks is truly high end dining - they pay attention to every details from the menu and wine choices to clearing the table and wait time between courses. Juan Carlos is an excellent waiter, too. And our anniversary "baked Alaska" was spectacular!

Used to be a frequent diner at this restaurant prior to the Sunrise location closing, visited the location in Miami a few times as well. This was the first time the food was not up to par. We ordered the sea bass and ribeye, for sides we had steamed spinach, crab fried rice & truffle fries. It’s sad to say but the only thing that was good were the fries. The sea bass and ribeye were extremely dry, the crab fried rice was crunchy as if it was cooked too long. Was not an enjoyable dining experience and will probably not be going back. We actually changed our reservation at The Capital Grille to try out this location and was highly disappointed with the food.
